Unfortunately, you can't tell the story of Rust without including its "cheat community," which Facepunch COO Alistair McFarlane once said routinely harasses and threatens the game's developers when it's not, you know, cheating. The latest measure the studio is taking to keep up with cheat makers is one you'll find familiar if you've tried to play a game like Highguard or Battlefield 6 recently: Secure Boot and Trusted Platform Module (TPM) requirements.
The news came in a statement on X where McFarlane stated, "From March, server owners will be able to opt in and only allow connections to players who have Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 enabled … we’ll be reviewing the metrics and expect to move towards making this mandatory across all servers."
